Month: September 2017

We have updated our LibreOffice growth infographic for 2017 (previous versions: 2014, 2015 & 2016), recollecting the most interesting LibreOffice figures and visualizing them in an easy to read and share infographic.

Numbers are growing and a new number has been added: “LibreOffice in the Cloud”. Collabora Productivity is the driving force behind putting LibreOffice in the Cloud and the Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE) is very popular, with currently over 1.5 million Docker image pulls!

We are looking forward to see you at the LibreOffice Conference 2017 (October 11 to October 13), where you can meet us and attend one of our many interesting talks!
